NovelEnglishChapter 67 Pretending to be a Big Shot
Hearing Chloe's voice, the murderous look on Grant's face softened a bit. He asked casually, "What's up?"
"The last t| was at your office, | saw sreally nice paintings. Can | borrow them?" Chloe asked, glancing
at Sophia, who just pursed her lips.
Sophia had seen those paintings before. Grant had gone to great lengths to get them, and two of them were
worth over a hundred million dollars each. If Chloe thought she could just borrow those paintings with a simple
request, she was dreaming.
Sophia was sure Grant, who loved his paintings, would say no.
But to everyone's surprise, after a moment of silence, Grant said, "Sure, when do you need them?"
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe Grant would lend his prized paintings to Chloe.
Nolan was stunned and curious about who Chloe really was.
Brian, standing next to him, was thrilled. Borrowing Grant's paintings for the Gibson family's exhibition would be
a huge win.
"Grantie, | need them now, but I'm in a hurry. Could you have someone deliver them to me?" Chloe asked
sweetly.
Grant was charmed by her gentle voice. "Okay, sendthe address, and I'll have someone deliver them right
away," he agreed after a brief pause.
Chloe smugly glanced at Sophia and Nolan. Sophia's face turned red with anger, while Nolan was utterly
confused.
"Grantie, you're the best. Thanks!" Chloe said, trying to further annoy Sophia.
As she was about to hang up, Grant hesitated and asked, "Chloe, are you in skind of trouble?"
Nolan got nervous, worried Chloe might mention his name. He knew he was no match for the Martin Family.

"Don't worry, it's fine," she added.
Grant was a bit skeptical but didn't push further. He just said, "If anyone gives you trouble, call me. And
remember, in Sovereign City, you can go wherever you want." Grant's message was loud and clear: he had
Chloe's back and was warning Nolan to back off.
Nolan knew he didn't have the power to go up against the Martin family, especially not Grant, who was known
for being ruthless in Sovereign City's business world.
Right on cue, Zara called Tony and got the staff together to take down Nolan's paintings after hearing that Chloe
had borrowed Grant's.
"Alright, everyone, let's move it. Mr. Martin's paintings are on their way. We need to get these down and make
room. Someone here thinks their doodles are masterpieces. Do they really deserve to be displayed?" Zara's
words were a direct jab at Nolan. He was fuming, but after Chloe's call, he didn't dare say a word.
Watching his paintings cdown, Nolan started to panic. Brian had paid him to use his paintings, but now that
they were being taken down, he wouldn't get paid, losing both Chloe's apology and the chance to work with the
Gibson family, ending up with nothing.
He pulled Brian aside and whispered,
"Brian, today's been a big
misunderstanding. The ane

chahbing the paintings now isn't a
good look, right? How about we use
my paintings for today? I'll even give
you a 20% discount on the rental fee,

Nolan was trying to negotiate.

As arrogant as Nolan had been
earlier, Brian now made him feel
equally small. He smiled and said in a

care, Nolan. | gotta get back to work."
Brian turned and pretended to be busy, directing the staff to pack up Nolan's paintings.
Nolan never expected his attempt to act like a big shot would backfire so badly. It was a total loss.
Now, he was even more curious about Chloe, wondering how this plain-looking girl could make Grant act so
gentle.
Unwilling to give up, Nolan shamelessly pulled Brian aside again. "Brian, can you find out who that ugly girl is to
Mr. Martin?"
